The Rude Boys Are Back!,
By Rude Boy (Canada eh!) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shake The Sheets (Audio CD)
It's been years since I have listened to an album that has made me pullover my car a just to catch my breathe. Remember that feeling when you first discovered music and needed to tell the world about it? Shake the Sheets is the follow up to Ted's 2003 critically acclaimed album Hearts of Oak. This Clash-style politico-punk contains some of the most powerful and moving music that has released to date. This album harnesses the live power of drummer Chris Miller, funky bass rifts of Dave Lerner, the poetic lyrics/rock guitar riffs of Ted and is toped off with some of the best mixing that I have ever listened to in my life. Shake the Sheets by Ted Leo and the Pharmacists just might be the prescription for all the bland, meaningless top forty garbage that has saturated the music industry.

Excellent,
By matt - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Shake The Sheets (Audio CD)
Ted Leo is the king of rock/pop-rock/punk/pop-punk...whatever the hell genre name floats your boat, this man is the king of it. Able to write infectious, hook-filled songs that still retain musical talent and lyrical integrity, Leo debunks any myths that pop/rock is always just teenagers whining about life. Every song on the album is excellent. Leo's lyrics show a wittiness and cleverness that not many other writers can rival. Of course, Leo isn't the only man in this band. His backing members, referred to as "The Pharmacists" are masters of their musical craft as well. The bass lines are more than just filler in this one. In fact, thye get to shine many times on the album, debunking yet another pop-rock myth: bass lines are never complicated or talented. The drumming is a source of hooks all throughout the album. Many times, I find myself recreating a Ted Leo song in my head, starting from the catchy drum tracks and building it up from there. Over all, this album combines musical talent, clever, well written lyrics, and a master knack for rock 'n' roll, making for one of the greatest albums of the year, if not all time

Why have I not heard about this band before?,
By Zenaida C. Cajilig - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Shake The Sheets (Audio CD)
So I was looking up an old video by an old band (Sublime, to be exact) on launch.com. After finding it and watching it, I left the video window open for a bit, and, by chance, "Me and Mia" came on. I was instantly intrigued by the unique sound of this band and this incredibly catchy song, so I instantly looked them up. Listening to some samples and reading some reviews, I went out and bought this album for myself(something very rare for me). This album is awesome. Each song is catchy and great, and the subject matter is so apt to what's going on in politics and current events that it makes the music all the more relevant (though this album is about a lot more than just the administration, the war, and other politics). Ted Leo is by no means a political gadfly; he comes off just like another American citizen, who follows politics and makes opinions and does his share. Don't be scared, this music is far less political and much more human than I first thought; it's more about life than anything. Anyways, this album is worth it even just for Me and Mia (the musical equivalent to injecting endorphins directly into your bloodstream). Awesome album.

Unreal,
By SCK "SCK" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Shake The Sheets (Audio CD)
Ohmigod. Who is this man?My friends swear by Ted Leo, but until today, I didn't know much about him. Then this morning, a friend of mine brought a copy of Shake the Sheets to my place. I was working hard on a final draft of a paper for class. Well, within ten minutes MSWord was closed down, I had bought a copy of his last CD, Hearts of Oak, from Amazon, and I was listening to every Ted Leo song I could get my hands on. This man is a phenomenal talent, and it is the ultimate shame that he has yet to be recognized by mainstream media. Then again, after Shake the Sheets, I don't see how anyone could ignore Ted Leo and the Pharmacists anymore. |
